Georgia only issues 1 license plate.  Anything on the front isn't considered to be a valid plate. 

Took a trip to Atlanta today to deliver some stuff to the paint and body man.  While I was waiting on him, an OLD Studebaker pickup pulled in beside me.  This wasn't a Rat Rod, but an early 50's truck that looked every bit its age.  Faded paint, rusted, side mirror held on with a fabricated mount.  Even the inside was in rough condition.  But the sound was anything but old.  It had that big throaty sound.  Probably an injected engine.  It started right up with just a bump of the starter.

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I'm having trouble seeing the keyboard at this moment.  What was seen can't be unseen.

I was in Douglasville today and as I was returning home along the old Bankhead Hwy (Now renamed a variety of names depending upon where you are) I saw an old Ford Dually Crew Cab truck make a turn across the RR tracks that run parallel to the highway. 

I estimate by the square body that it was from the 80's.  Had a nice paint job, chrome brush guard grill, running boards, bed rails, AND CONESTOGA WHEELS :o .  DUALLY CONESTOGA WHEELS!  HUGE DUALLY CONESTOGA WHEELS!    Where in the world did he find those things???  It would have looked pretty good if it hadn't been for those WHEELS.

When looking for a ttuck, it is hard to find one that is still useful.  Someone put low-profile tires on some, slammed others, or did something to the suspension.

I've seen a couple of local duallys that had nothing done but lowering.  One was lowered a little too much for my taste and the other sat a little higher.  Other than the one that was too low, they looked nice.

Not complaining about the looks.  Function is my concern.

Some of you know that I have been seeing a doctor to have basal cell carcinoma sites removed from my face. Well, it just so happens that the doctor's office is near Ferrari of Atlanta. Today was my last visit, so I stopped by the Ferrari dealer and snapped a few pictures...







Turbocharaged V8, 750HP. Would it fit in a Fiero?


There was also a Maserati dealer in the building...


Check out the low lease price on this model...

I'll take that first Ferarri, for $1,499, for just 1 month.

I told the salesman that I have a "poor man's Ferrari", and pointed to my yellow Fiero out in the parking lot. He was actually impressed by it. I told him about RFTH, but I don't think he's coming.

Tell him that we don't discriminate; he should feel free to drive any of those vehicles.

How about this parking job?  The scary thing is that people who drive like this drive on public roads, at highway speeds.

This one is only interesting because of the uncommon color.

At least in the picture, that last car's color looks like Don Hulse's Fiero.
